Carriage Returns in an Upload

Anon

I am uploading XML files using PHP so that some of the other departments can upload the files.

The problem is in the XML, it is adding carriage returns when it uploads.

After a TON of experimenting, I think its uploading XML in binary. I have looked at what the FTP does in both ASCII and binary, and the data from the php form and the ftp binary is the same.

So, is there a way I can change my upload script, or strip out the carriage returns from the xml?

Thanks@!

You can strip them with ereg_replace().

I think uploads depend on client MIME types. Try adding .xml extension to your client as "text/xml". If that doesn't work, try the same in Apache's mime.types file. I think one of these should work (client makes more sense to me, but I don't actually know it :-)).

Good luck!

P.S. Please post a solution when you find it.

Thanks for the reply.

The replace didnt work, but I suspect that was because I couldnt find the definitive answer to what a carriage return looked like (/r).

So I used the ftp function to move the files instead and it works great.
